To be updated... I installed all of it and it all went fine. I can run
the java console even.
This is the third Java install
I did yum install rpm install jr
Did the .bin install jre
and now the unofficial faq install and still no
working Java
Is this a bug or is there some configuration that
needs to be done with selinux like the 3d problem I had.
I followd that exactly and nothing worked to get glx
working until I saw the selinux command on the unoffical faq and boom I had working 3d
I am thining something is just stopping it from
working cause it seems to be set up right. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I followed the instructions from here: http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#Java for me I downloaded the JDK version instead of JRE. At first firefox and mozila have difficulty detecting the plugin. so I followed the instructions from here: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#java on SELinux part. Still didn't work. NOW THE LAST STAGE: 1) I reboot the computer 2) removed the what have been liked to plugin folder # rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so and relinked it this time: 3) as root user, open mozilla # mozilla & and click about plugins menu or type "about:plugins" in address bar, you should see the java appears like magic. 4) quit mozilla 5) open firefox as regular user and do the same, you should see the java plugin. ************************************************** Please don't ask me why it is so coz' I don't know too. I just did like that and it worked for me. I am going to ask the same question to the experts in next thread. :-)
